Calling all Carb experts

[FatBoy Spin]

All you good ol' boys dumping your 38DGAS has given me an idea. I might use the 38DGAS instead of the 32/36 on the Vixen. I hear it even has the same stud pattern. So three questions:

1) Anyone done it before (successfully)?

2) The 32/36 is designed as a progressive choke carb to feed all four branches on the inlet manifold from one , then two, chokes. The 38 is designed (as I understand) as 'two carbs in one' with each barrel feeding three cylinders. Will it work on part throttle on the standard Crossflow inlet? I am not worried about full open as it's then exactly as per full open 32/36.

3) if answers to 10 and 2) are yes - then has anyone got one for me to try/buy?

Cheers for now.....

I went down the triple weber route and following Adrain Venn's/John Wade's advice to sell them. To get the real benefit you need to have competition fuel pump, upgrade the diameter of fuel lines from tank and the real power booster, upgrade the exhaust system. The standard system is so restrictive that you will not see the full benefit of the triple Webers. I started on this and my Taimar has a full Tony Law system (around £1000 and in mild steel!!), for more info talk to Ric Wood is in the Oily pages. The exhaust is a real bunch of bananas affair with seperate down pipes (going inside and outside chassis rails) meeting collectors with a large bore system.

The exhaust made a tremendeous difference, with a correctly set up 40DFI on a quick engine my car would out accelerate my 230bhp Impreza Turbo between 30 and 90 mph!!

But the Triple Webers look the business....

PS the Taimar is for sale (Piston Heads - Road Legal Track Day Cars)
